" is newly opened, yet, in the opinion of the board, it IS likely to be steadily maintain ed, because of the ever increasing number o1 borrowers, provided that the demands of the public are reasonably we'll supplied. That applicants presenting lists containing twenty or thirty numbers frequently find all the de sired books out, and that many authors, full sets of whose books are catalogued, have moi a single volume on the shelves to represent them. That 6 large proportion of the books are reissued as soon as they are returned, so that they are in circulation constantly. That in order to meet the needs of the public and enable patrons of the library the better to obtain the books which they may desire it is abso- lutely necessary that large number of books be duplicated, many standard works be add ed and new books supplied from week to week as published. That the board has not the means at it's disposal to meet this great demand and supply the books 50 urgently needed and provide the help necessary to conduct the library.
 They therefore petition your honorable body to grant at once an appropriation of three thousand dollars so that the increasing and pressing wants of the library and it's patrons may to some extent be met.
 On behalf of the board of directors of the free public library,
 J. N. STATES, President.
